From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

To some extent, if Sasuke had received the so-called Eye of Elysium, his bloodlust would have intensified during battles.

The stronger the Yin Release power in his third eye, the easier it would be to achieve the same effect as Monster Satoru, similar to unleashing "Infinite Izanagi".

Sasuke wasn't too worried about the accumulation of negative emotions. Don't forget, besides negative emotions...

Sasuke also possesses absolute indifference and nihilism stemming from a long timeline.

This is the perfect weapon to fight against and eliminate negative emotions. Even Ido Sasuke's primal desires and instincts from the Ten-Tails itself are no match for the emptiness that comes from a long period of time!

Once Sasuke senses that his negative emotions are spiraling out of control, he will unhesitatingly unleash his void to eliminate a portion of those emotions.

This also serves to alleviate the constant feelings of indifference and emptiness that arise within him.

This can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

Of course, all of this is just Sasuke's own speculation, and it can even be said to be the most beautiful and perfect speculation, which is a bit unrealistic.

Sasuke didn't even understand whether the Box of Elysium could help a regular three-tomoe Sharingan evolve into a Mangekyou Sharingan.

Before that, all speculation and conjecture are not to be taken seriously. Only when the plan is actually completed will we know the truth.

Moreover, the Chest of Bliss cannot be opened at will; offerings are required.

This offering is an enormous amount of chakra!

In the original timeline, the lord of Hozuki Castle, Muu, opened the Chest of Elysium by using a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra within Naruto Uzumaki.

Although it's only a small portion, for Kurama (the Nine-Tails), this small portion of chakra might be no less than that of Shukaku (the entire body).

That's right, the Sage of Six Paths is just that biased!

Therefore, Sasuke needs to find a sacrifice equivalent to the level of a tailed beast's chakra to open the Box of Bliss.

Stroking his chin, Sasuke silently pondered how to find the so-called sacrifice.

A moment later, he had an idea!

So he patted the back of his head, grinned, and revealed a hearty, happy smile.

When a person is alone, they may feel lonely and empty, and their emotions may become indifferent.

Therefore, in order to avoid falling into temptation, Sasuke would occasionally do some small things to remind himself.

After silently going through the plans for the Box of Bliss in his mind, Sasuke turned his attention to another plan.

The Box of Bliss and the Third Eye are both actions he takes two or three steps ahead of him, but he's not in a hurry to implement them now.

Having a preliminary plan in mind is enough!

The most crucial and urgent plan before him was to advance to the Eternal Kaleidoscope and...

Kill the snake!

Chapter 95 Uchiha Itachi

The land of rain!

Rumble, rumble, thunder roared, and lightning flashed like silver snakes.

This is a country where it rains constantly all year round, and the rain falls rapidly and densely.

Raindrops the size of beans pelted down on a figure on the tower, a figure both divine and demonic, cold and indifferent.

Pain, the Deva Path!

At this moment, he was looking down at the entire Amegakure village from his high vantage point, and the increasingly heavy rain had no effect on him whatsoever.

Swish, swish.

Suddenly, white paper fragments surged up behind Pain, transforming into a beautiful young woman with blue hair.

“Nagato.” Konan held a scroll in her hand and said softly, “The diplomats from Konoha have sent an invitation to the joint Chunin Exams.”

Upon hearing this, Pain remained silent. Konan continued, "For this year's Chunin Exams, Konoha plans to invite its allies and several neighboring countries to participate, and we are among those invited."

At this point, Xiao Nan sneered: "I'm afraid this is just a little trick they use to gather intelligence on various countries and villages, and incidentally show off their so-called great power demeanor."

"When?"

Pain asked in a completely emotionless tone.

"November 7."

"I understand." Pain responded softly, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "The last time Konoha invited the village to participate in the joint Chunin Exams was during Hanzo's time. That guy seemed to have sent a lot of Genin."

"Ah."

"In that case, send a few groups of people from the village to put their minds at ease and make them believe that Amegakure is still under Hanzo's control. Then, we can gather information about the Jinchuriki and Konoha."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Xiao Nan nodded, then brought up another matter.

"Nagato, Suien has agreed to all our conditions and is now asking when we will send someone to help him launch a coup in Takikage Village."

Upon hearing this, Pain lowered his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Then let's make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements for Kirisame and the others..."

"Wait a minute, Konan."

Before he could finish speaking, Pain spoke again, pausing for a moment.

"I'll call a meeting with the organization members later."

Konan looked at Pain and said calmly, "Nagato, do you mean we should send people from our organization on this mission?"

"Ah."

"I understand."

Konan nodded. Although she felt it was unnecessary to send people from the organization, she always put Nagato first, and since Nagato had made the decision, she would carry it out.

........

Nighttime, on the outskirts of a town in the Land of Fire.

It was the time when the silver moon hung high and the stars were just beginning to rise.

A figure dressed in a black trench coat with red cloud patterns and wearing a straw hat walked lightly in the suburbs.

The night was a bit chilly. A gust of wind blew by and inadvertently lifted the straw hat on the figure's head, revealing his delicate features, deep tear troughs, and those scarlet Sharingan eyes!

Uchiha Itachi!

The moonlight, as white as frost and as clear as water, shone on Itachi Uchiha's face. He raised his head and gazed at the countless stars, large and small, twinkling and fading in the sky. His eyes flickered slightly, as if in deep thought or reminiscing.

"Mr. Itachi, what are you thinking about?"

Just as Itachi Uchiha seemed lost in his memories, a burly man with a shark-like face, also dressed in a red cloud-patterned black robe, appeared behind him.

"nothing."

Uchiha Itachi snapped out of his daze, gave a lukewarm reply, and continued walking step by step.

The tall, burly shark didn't mind his indifference. He stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, grinning, "It seems Mr. Itachi has his own worries. Although I'd love to know, I doubt Mr. Itachi will tell me."

Faced with his companion's teasing, Itachi Uchiha turned to look at his partner expressionlessly and said calmly, "It seems you've finished your work, Kisame."

"of course."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, revealing a somewhat sinister smile. He took out a paper bag and said, "Mr. Itachi must be tired after walking all day. This is a midnight snack. Have some to fill your stomach first."

ball?

Uchiha Itachi stared blankly at the food on the paper bag for a moment, and then, just as he was about to take it, he realized what was happening.

"Is the meatball shop still open at this time?"

"Mr. Itachi is joking. Maruko isn't a late-night snack, so of course it would be closed long ago at this hour."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, revealing a hint of murderous intent: "So I could only politely discuss it with the boss and ask him to make another one."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha paused for a moment before taking the paper bag, but after a brief pause, he still took the paper bag.

Noticing this change, Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled and said, "Of course, I didn't kill him in the end. I just cast an illusion on him and let him have a good sleep."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes, making his expression unreadable. After a moment of silence, he said, "Don't do such unnecessary things in the future. It makes us vulnerable to being exposed."

"Alright alright."

Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled and gave a perfunctory reply. He looked up at the stars in the sky and then brought up another matter.

"Speaking of which, Itachi's younger brother has become quite famous lately, hehe..."

Sasuke?

Upon hearing Kisame mention his younger brother's name, Itachi Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent, quietly eating the dumpling in his hand.

Seeing that his companion remained expressionless and even seemed unwilling to acknowledge him, Kisame Hoshigaki didn't mind and continued, "I heard that Raiga Kurosuki also died at the hands of Itachi's brother a few days ago. As expected of Itachi's brother, isn't he?"

Raiga Kurosuki was a member of the first generation of the Seven Swordsmen, while Raiga Kurosuki is a member of the second generation. Raiga Kurosuki can be considered his predecessor.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki didn't think much of Raiga Kurosuki, or rather, he didn't think much of the three Seven Swordsmen who had survived by clinging to life.

They thought they were just a bunch of cowards.

It was only after Kisame Hoshigaki learned some things about the time when Juzo Biwa and Itachi Uchiha teamed up that his opinion changed somewhat, and it was only about Juzo Biwa.

"If it weren't for the fact that he's Itachi's younger brother, I would really like to see his strength."

Kisame Hoshigaki said this half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Although he didn't really respect Raiga Kurosuki, he was still one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Ninja Swords. Sasuke Uchiha's ability to defeat him naturally piqued his curiosity and made him take him seriously.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha remained silent.

He has been keeping a close eye on what has happened to his younger brother recently.

He easily defeated Nekomata and passed the test he left behind in his early years.

Killed Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Seven Swordsmen.

Together with her companions, she helps the only daughter of the previous daimyo reclaim the throne...

Judging from all the performances and intelligence, his younger brother's growth in strength has far exceeded his expectations.

Although Granny Cat never told him about Sasuke's situation.
